Green Hydrogen opportunities in the Benelux
■ Air Liquide’s NER300 proposal consisted of Green Hydrogen in Rotterdam
■ At a later stage, Air Liquide could consider deployment at its Antwerp facility
Rotterdam:
• up to 500 kt/y
Antwerpen:
• up to 550 kt/y

Air Liquide’s evaluation of NER300
Facts:
■ Air Liquide spent 4 years developing a viable and solid CCS proposal
■ Dutch subsidy secured (meanwhile withdrawn); final conditions under
negotiation
■ Major condition precedent: NER300 funding
What went wrong?
■ AL was unable to produce the Final Confirmation letter, because the
project economics as calculated under NER300 program were not
matching Air Liquide’s own economics
■ Full clarification of this misalignment was (due to NER300 competition +
confidentiality reasons) only possible after the Final Award selection
 The Green Hydrogen project was not awarded with NER300 and stopped

Main difficulties in developing CCS in Europe
1. RES has an Investment hurdle; Industrial CCS also has an operational
hurdle (Operation cost > ETS)  Is a Performance grant the right tool?
2. Transport & Storage synergy is essential for developing CCS, though:
Support programs only focus on ‘point-to-point’ solutions
■ Support schemes are managed by different DG’s + MS
■ Transport & Storage is not core for emitters
 How to develop (essential) synergies between CCS projects (clusters)?
■
3. London Protocol: cross border CO2 Transport & Storage (e.g. EOR case)
4. ETS + CCS Directives are linked via an ETS opt-in of a CO2 storage site
